Multiply pages of similair subject not showing up in serps?
-
Hi,
I have a website with a lot of similair subjects. Its a website with around 1000s pages.
For example this website is about "cars" so I wrote a pages about:Green classy cars
Green cars for the summer
Green car show 2013What happens is that on the query of "Green car show". The page green classy cars shows up.
I have the feeling that google takes one page about a similair subject and only put on in the serps. I checked this on multiply pages and this seems the case.
If I search on exact "Green car show 2013" + MY URL, still then its shows indexed but only position 4. Places 1,2,3 shows again other pages of my website with similair subject.
Now my feeling says the other pages have more authority and thats why they show up higher. But then...again now all the content Im adding it isnt showing up..
The last months I added around 300 pages and I did not got one visitor more daily and I have the feeling it is because it are all similair pages and google does not want to show them.
My question is:
Is their something I can still make them show up? Because they do have all 100% unique content and 100% unique images they only have similair subjects.
or
Is their some way I can tell Google that his are really different pages, so this would maybe help?

This could be because of your internal linking or external for that matter.
if links are passing green car relevance and PR to one page more than the other this could be the result.

The other point here is that Google has been working on consolidating results from a single domain

You may simply be working against the updated algo.
Other alternatives would be to build out pages on the same KW for a given property, so you would have your you tube video on Classy Green Cars, then a blog post on a subdomain etc. Then you would avoid the clustering effect.
Another thing to consider is to look at how your site is organized. Make one main page on Green cars and have a ton of info, then have all the other "Green car" related pages link up to the top page.
Unless the search is really long tail it may be hard to find traffic for your other key words etc. Find the biggest key word and focus on that then build the variants and link up to it.
Cheers

If pages are similar Google reserves the write to index what they want. Yes of they are too similar that is whats going to happen.

I work on a uk decorating website with five of our own bloggers all of which reside on the home page of the website on their own separete blogging urls as sub domains - is this a good idea or would google not like this from an seo point of view?
Should blogs that are part of an overall content site be on separate sites and link in or is it ok to promote them as content on the home page of the site and take users off to their own url to view the site. Is this good practise for seo?

The same phrase in many different pages of one site
Hi,
Content Development | | webg
Recently, I had to add the same phrase, with 15 words, nearly, in 700 posts in a same blog. In this phrase is written about the site ownership and eventually some links showing the posts sources. I thought in create a image, but it will be some variations in the source words (2 or 3), therefore I chose to use text format. I'd like to read some comments and opinions about this kind of insertion (the same phrase in many different pages of one site). For exemple, did you handle this in your site? Problems or benefits (mainly with indexing)? Special code to indicate in this case? Any threat?0 -
High Bounce Rate on this Specific Page
Just a quick question...looking more for opinions and suggestions.... The specific page in question is: http://erasedisease.com/2012/04/09/all-natural-alternative-to-beta-blockers-arginine/ We get great traffic to this page specifically for these search terms (and more): natural beta blockers natural alternatives to beta blockers natural beta blocker supplements The bounce rate on this specific page is usually between 75% to 82%. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be (besides the obvious colors/theme of the website)? Thanks!!

Should I Have No Index, No Follow On Blog Category & Tag Pages?
At some point in the past I read or was told that No Index, No Follow tags on category and tag pages were a good thing on a standard WordPress blog in order to prevent duplicate content issues. Is this still true or was it ever true?

Changing Text on Pages
For one of my sites I'm in a situation where I have 6 main pages that are for lack of a better word "showcased," one of which being the homepage. The problem is that I am seeing pretty good traffic growth, but my conversions/sales are really weak, and I'm about 95% positive that this is because there is too much information on all of those pages --- each one has about 1500 words or so. The site architecture and link structure on the site is good as out of the couple of hundred pages on the site only 3 of them aren't indexed according to Google webmaster tools. What I want to do is rewrite the text on those six main pages with more of a sales type of feel and limit them to 500-700 words or so. This will have no impact on the link architecture whatsoever, but I'm a bit worried that it will have a negative impact on my continual traffic growth. Actually, I'm not as much concerned about the continual part as the steady new content stream should take care of it, but I would be very concerned if I lost the rankings that I have right now. Granted, those rankings aren't worth as much as they could be because conversions are down, so so it's kind of a catch-22. The question is, how dangerous is what I'm planning on doing? On a side note, my lack of conversions has nothing to do with my description or title tags that show up in the results as they are targeted properly and written for sales. The problem is that the pages, though rich in content, are a bit too rich in content and need to be fixed to work in unison with the descriptions and titles.
